COOLER FR BOTTLED GUODS.

Rossum Application filed May 25, 1922. Serial No. 583,524?.

To ai uy/wm 'it mog' concern.: l Be it known that l. Sixzn'inmliiirig citizen ot' the United States. residingA at Columbus, in the count)v of Lowndes and State of Mississippi. have invented certain .new and useful Iniinoreinents in CooierS for Bottled Goods, or" which the Yfollowingr a speoiliea-` tion.

My invention relates, to an improvement in coolers for bottled and other sealed goods. The object is to provide a fleifiee composed of few, simple and inexpensive parts that can be placed in any icehox or refrigerator or other receptacle. the invention inch-tiling means for facilitating: receiving. snoring l`or- Ward and renewing the articles lo he cooled. My invention consist-f: in :i channel or cell adapted to receive bottled or other eealeil oods, a inovahle chute leading" thereto. and 1n position to he moved te Shore the articles through the chute, and a container for ice adapted to keep the artic-lee. their contents and the snrronnding finiti cool. and. at the saine time, toeiose the chale.

In the accompanying drawing-w Fig. l is a vertical longitudinal section; Fig. Q is a plan view; Fig. 3 is an enel view with a broken away;

Fig. 10 is a channel.

A, repreeents a cell or channel. preferably, although not necessarily, made ot a single sheet of ine-tel fashioned `to accommodate a single ron' of lioltles or other sealed goods..

In the cimstrnction illustrated. the sides are more or less ont ont7 as at l.. through the center. leaving thil ends 2 somewhat higher, and having shoulders 3 adjacent to 'the inner sides thereof at e point above the tops of the bottles B. as shown in Fig, 1.

The numeral 4 represents the chate which is removably supported in one end of the cell perspective view of the cell or or channel by means of a hook'l which rests 'spring asitl and lravlf into e tlnietheld .hv the ia upon the edge of the former, constituting :t pivot. The hotties or other articles to he cooleclare ineerted through this chute, and a slot T formed in the lower end of the inner Wall thereof liao a curved lower edge 8. the Slot affording' lateral clearance tor the hottie or other article to prevent its striking the next or preceding` bottle-neck with too great force. the curved lower end of the slot intel ing the liotloni of the bottle or other article and breaking its fall.

The inner side 5 ot the chiite normally stands pei-pendienlar, and in alignment with the inner open edge ot the end ot' the channel or cell. and the extreme upper end ot the chille may terminate in a handle G, if delsireil. for the, caio' manipulation of the ehntc.

A. ien'ioi'ohle cover ll4 is adapted to lit and elorfe the open top ot the opposite end of the channel or cell. ae' lQhown in Fig. l, and it aloe ma)Y have the added function of providingr means tor ihe removal of the bottles or other articlef. and to this end it has the fley'iendingf; spring jawe 1Q ae shown in l? o., 8 and 9, which assume a posit-ion "when the cover is in place to receive the necks o the hotties or other articlee: when shoved .leterah .lr hetween thi-1n (r h v lowering the @over from ahorre. and altering* il "ning-jaws to .gact Vwith the hottie-neel; therelwoeath. Vroon the hottie u Ts. it is withdrawn with the cover 'when the latter @teil tron: the top off the. cell or channel. all of which is fully illustrated in Fig. l.

The ice. indicated hv theletter if. as shown billige. l and A15.. may resi upon a' plate or other support.. restino upon the ehonhlers 3, or. as shown in. FigsK l and ai. it is preterahly placed in a container lil. over which a cover l-l is placid. and the entire cell or channel (and as r 1y of thein as desired) are placed side li): de. nonall): in a pat-n or receptacle l5 et' Sufficient: height ahove the tops oi" the hotties or other articles to he cooled. the lower end tof the ice container 1:3. and f cover I4. :is indicated hv the water line in Fig'. l. not onlr 'inliji' to snhniergze the hottlee' or other sealed 'oods, lint also to forni a Water seul ifor the ice container, thus making the seine air-tight. preserve the icei and at the same time coneerve the cold. radiating therefrom.

Different varieties of sott drinks might Bil inserted in different channels; as a convenient means for identifying them, the label cepa C are inserted and held rictionally in e holder l5 formed therefor in the handle 6, at the upper end of each chute` and along the handle 16 of each cover, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 8.

When the parte are assembled, it. will be seen that the cover 14 ci the icc or refrigerant container 13 lits and closes the open inner sides l? of the ends 2, and the open inner side 5 of the chute, thus keeping the same substantially air-tight.

The water which snbmerges the bottles and forms the seal is kept in circulation due to the differences in temperature between the cooled bottle or bottles and the newly-inserted ones.

From the foregoing, it will be seen' that a simple, inenpcnslve, efficient device is provided for cooling bottled and other sealed goods. It is understood that. this device 1s of such a form of construction that it can be inserted in an ordinary ice-bor; or one constructed especially for the purpose, and .as

y many cells or channels may be inserted side by side as the capacity oit' iihe ice-hoi: will admit. When so placed, the ice is 'placed upon a plate resting upon the shoulders or in the container and enclosed bv the cover, and when so placed it closes upon the inner sides ci. the ends o the cell or channel and chute.

The intention is to keep each channel or cell filled with bottles or articles to be cooled at all times. This insures one always resting beneath the cover 11, with its neck between the spring-jaws 12. Thus all the operator has 'to do to remove a'bottle is to raise the cover which `[mills the bottle Afrom the cell or channel, whereupon the bottle is detached and the cover is replaced. Each time a botiile is thus removed at one end, another bot/- tle to be cooled is inserted at. the other end. To' dc this, the upper end of the chute 'is pushed back out of normal position, indicated by nll linee in Fig. l into its abnormal or dotted line position of Fig'. l, its lovyer end pushing the rois.r of bottles in .its 'path i'orvvard. l ae beetle to be,inserted is then lowered in the upper end of the chute, stopping and' reeling partly in the slot; and

against the shoulder oi the next, adjacent.

bottle, and, upony releasing' the chute, the weight and position of the lasvinserted bot.- tle causes theehuis to return toits normal 'position and at, the same time allowing the bottle to drop into the channel. ln other Words, the chute is in position to receive an article and it pushes the row of bottles igor- Ward, when it is moved out of its normal ,positiomvbut when moved into its normal pc sition, the chute directs -the bottle into the channel. This operation is repeated Whenever a bottle is removed.
